        "text": "Common signs include persistent leaks, visible cracks in the acrylic or fiberglass basin, deep chipping or rust on enameled cast iron, and chronic mold beneath the fixture. Surface wear such as peeling reglazing or stubborn staining may also warrant replacement. If your existing tub no longer meets household mobility needs or makes daily bathing difficult, upgrading to an accessible walk-in design or a low-threshold soaking tub is often a safer, more practical long-term solution than temporary cosmetic patches.",
